NSRI Wilderness nominated for brave rescue

GEORGE NEWS - The Wilderness National Sea Reasue Institute has again been nominated for this year's Centrum Guardian Project.

The project recognises and rewards the incredible acts of courage and self-sacrifice made by the people who work in the Emergency Services (ES) Industry, saving the lives of South Africans every day.

Torsten Henschel and his team at the NSRI have been nominated for the rescue of local George schoolboy, Ruan Klopper, on 15 January. Klopper was rescued by Henschel after he was swept away by a strong current, while he and fellow learners from the Bult High School were on an outing.

Henschel is one of 16 to reach the semi-finals.
